Louisville Outpatient Center Grand Opening

Proclamation of July 8 as "OneQuest Health Louisville Grand Opening Day"

OneQuest Health recently held the Grand Opening of our new Louisville Outpatient Center on July 8. We were joined by almost 50 area neighbors and businesses taking a tour of our new offices and joining us at the Welcome Ceremony held in the nearby offices of one of our neighbors, Kosair for Kids, which kicked off our day.

Dr. Mariya Leyderman, from the Office of Mayor Craig Greenberg, gave us the proclamation of July 8 as "OneQuest Health Louisville Grand Opening Day." Immediately afterward, Jordan Clemons of OneLouisville, gave the scissors to our Board of Trustees Chair, Robert Simmons, to officially cut the ribbon for us.

Mr. Simmons noted that our continued growth in this area of Kentucky now helps alleviate the shortage of mental healthcare workers in the Commonwealth. Additionally, fellow OneQuest Health Board of Trustees member, Dr. Bobbie Glass, Special Resource Teacher with Jeffeson County Public Schools, gave special commentary on the importance of our presence in Louisville.

You can find us in the Medical Arts Building located at 1169 Eastern Parkway in Suite G-58, Louisville, KY 40217. 

Donor Spotlight: M & P Logistic

We are excited to feature M & P Logistics, a company based in Florence, KY as our newest monthly donor to OneQuest Health. M & P Logistics company president, Steve Hall, is a lifelong resident of Northern Kentucky and has been familiar with the care and services we have been providing for nearly 150 years. 

One of the principles of his company is to give to organizations that support the most vulnerable young people in our region and throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Steve is well aware of the healthcare needs of our clients now and in the near future, and he has seen the love and care we have for all our individual clients and families.

Steve told us recently, "The guiding principles of M & P Logistics is to honor God in our work, mentor young men and women in our business, and to support ministries and charitable groups that impact our people in need." OneQuest Health is truly grateful and excited that M & P Logistics has joined us at the start of our new 2027 fiscal year by becoming our newest monthly donor.

This is especially important as we prepare to launch our new Monthly Giving program next month on Founders Day, August 11 (the birthdate of Amos Shinkle, who founded our organization back in 1880).

Staff Spotlight: Kara Pangburn, Day Treatment-Partial Hospitalization Program Supervisor

Kara Pangburn

Kara first joined OneQuest Health in August 2019 as an intern in our Day Treatment Program while earning her Master of Social Work (MSW) at Northern Kentucky University (NKU). Once she obtained her advanced degree, she became a Therapist for our Day Treatment Program.

Kara says her favorite part of her work with our clients is being part of an organization where she feels supported, valued, and encouraged to dream big and take on new challenges each day. She is one of our countless dedicated employees who helps drive our mission. "I am truly grateful to work alongside people who believe in innovation, inclusivity, continuous learning, and the importance of uplifting one another while providing the best possible care for our clients," said Kara.

Kara told us she has been given wonderful opportunities to develop through leadership experiences, specialized trainings, retreats, and hands-on learning. She feels these experiences helped her grow personally and professionally as a therapist and a supervisor. She continued, "I enjoy mentoring staff, helping them build confidence in their roles, and creating a team environment where people feel empowered, engaged, and invested in the work they do."

Kara's favorite quote is from John R. Green, "There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn't." This quote speaks to her belief that helping clients find hope is one of the most powerful parts of therapy that she has witnessed throughout her career here at OneQuest Health. She adds, "Sometimes clients come to us during some of the most difficult moments in their lives and having someone believe in their ability to grow and overcome challenges can make a lasting difference"

Thank you, Kara, for helping make that difference in clients' lives every day.
